I got avast! two months ago because I was worried my system might be compromised. I've been having full on crashes for the past couple weeks, while avast! turned up nothing in safe mode, or after a normal boot. I installed AVG free, and problem solved...
i would of tried malwarebytes even before i uninstall avast and installed avg.

i have also used avg in the past. I thought the 7,5 version of avg was wonderful. but after i upgraded to version 8 it was it. i remember i had trouble almost every day of getting the latest virus database from avg. they might have been better on that in the later versions but. because of that i changed to avast 4,8 and will not never again touch avg again when avast is doing so much better job then avg. and the lower use of ram is another plus for avast on avg i say.

keep up the good job.
Windows 8.1 amd a10-5700 64 bit
12 GB ram 1 tb hard drive. Avast 18, MBAM
